In this version of Brassai's Paris by Night a piece of music has been used along with the photographs, then shown in a slide show. (unfortunately the sound didn't import).
I'm not sure if it would have quite the same impact without the music. However, as I was watching the video I felt it to be haunting of a by gone age, this atmosphere hits straight away due to the lack of people on the empty streets of Paris. Then you get to see the insight of how the Parisian people live night by night.
I was quite amazed at how hard this hit me, as the piece went on I began to feel sad about how these people have been forgotten through time.
